A Clever Newfc midland Dog

Rattelty bangl rattclty bang-down the
kreet Gathered tin can tied to the tail OF
poor, frienIless amt FRIGHTENED dogi A
crowd of boys followed at the runaway's
heels with cries and shouts, increasing alike
his terror and his speed, until at last he had
distanced his pursuers, but not, alas! that
horribly noisy thing that clattered and ratified
at his heels. Thoroughly tired as thoroughly
terrified, the poor dog looked TO right and left
as he ran for help or shelter. AT length he
spied ut the corner of cross street. not far
away, large, friendly looking NewfOund-
land dog. With piteOus cries and an implor-
ing look the exhausted dog dragged himself
and his noisy anpendase to the Newfoundland
and looked to him for help Nor was his appeal
unheeded, for the Newfoundland seemed to
appreciate the position and at once showed
himself to lie a generous dog A patient
knawing at the string finally released the
can and then, lifting it in the air, the New
foudIand flung it from him with a triumph
ant toss of the head, while the other dog joy
ou>ly bounded up from his crouching position
thankful to be rid of the troublesome
burden which his human tOrmentOrs had in
fiictei upon him--St- Nicholas
